      <p class="para_topic">The Spreadsheet serves as an advanced expression editor for NX hybrid modeling - providing a seamless transfer of conceptual model data between NX and the spreadsheet.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">This section focuses specifically on the spreadsheet extensions and applications in NX, and is intended to be a supplement to the standard spreadsheet documentation, which can be viewed in the NX Documentation Set.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The spreadsheet consists of three main session applications:</p>
